Campbell said samples taken from the site were analyzed by theAtlantic Veterinary College and tested positive for piscine reovirus,or PRV, a highly contagious virus that most farmed salmon carry. Thevirus has been linked to a disease  heart and skeletal musculardisease  that makes fish lethargic and more vulnerable to predators.

Environment Minister George Heyman said the province will send aninspector to visit the packing plant in the next few days.http://www.canada.com/news/local+news/sample+farmed+salmon+98blood+water+tests+positive+virus+critic/16006054/story.html
